If a report from Bloomberg is to be believed, South Korean electronics and smartphone manufacturer Samsung is planning to launch smartphones with bendable or foldable displays by as soon as 2017. Anonymous sources from the company revealed this information to news conglomerate Bloomberg just a few hours ago. According to the leak, there shall be two smartphones with bendable screens.

The smartphone would be shaped like a cosmetic compact which would unfurl to a full sized smartphone. The second device would start off like a regular 5-inch smartphone and once opened would have a display of 8inches, roughly the size of a tablet. The important thing to note here is that the smartphones would not be part of flagship Galaxy S smartphone range. The smartphones are being produced under the code name “Project Valleyâ€.
A new piece of information that has surfaced from this leak is that the next ‘Note’ phablet from the company would be christened as Note 7 instead of Note 6 skipping a generation just to bring it in line with the flagship Galaxy S smartphone range. Since Samsung has refused to comment on this leak when contacted by the media, the information should be taken with a grain of salt. For the meanwhile feast your eyes on a video made by Samsung a few months ago showcasing a concept design of its bendable smartphone.
